So when you say you're ramping up in productivity, do you have any nodes that you're closing in the system that's accounting for that right now or is it just BST familiarity?
Yes. I think it's a couple things, Budd. It's productivity -- it's not real big node closures. It's really productivity and cost savings net of investments and I think second quarter is a little higher on the investment load than the rest of the year. And then the second big piece is the lower BST cost and disruption t...

And what was price cost realization in Q1? How did that (technical difficulty)
Yes. We had about $21 million of price realization in the first quarter against approximately $50 million of total inflation, which includes the impact of the tariffs.

So $6 million to the good and what do you think it will be for the year? How do you -- what's your crystal ball say today?
Yes. For the year, we do expect it to be positive. Our outlook for price realization is a little bit lower than it was mainly due to the tariff as we mentioned in our call comments, but we are expecting $75 million to $85 million of price realization against $60 million to $70 million of total cost inflation.

Okay. Does that happen pretty much ratably through the year?
Yes, it does. It's pretty consistent through the year although it's actually less in the fourth quarter as we start to anniversary some of our tariff driven price increases.

Yes, Budd. I think -- look, I mean the -- I'll say a couple things. One, in the supply side we've seen the business get stronger through the quarter.

So, the price cost sounds like that's going to be $15 million to the good, if I just took the midpoint of those -- the pricing cost you just gave, Marshall. Jeff, you also talked about productivity, you talked about cost savings, you talked about no BST. Can you remind us what the benefits from each of those are expect...
So the first is -- the big driver for the year, Matt, is the net productivity, less investments. We talked about being $10 million to $15 million of benefits for the year. That will occur in the back half, which is -- so. From a -- and that includes what Jeff is alluding to using BST to drive productivity and things li...

Okay. So whatever, so you had -- I'm looking, so you had $6 million benefit, $0 million to $2 million, and then remainder of that $15 million will show up in Q3. And is there -- you said productivity and cost savings, is the $10 million to $15 million a combination of those two buckets?
Yes. So, it's basically the net of productivity cost savings less investments that we put in place to sort of drive those things.

Okay. And last (inaudible). And then the no BST, what was the BST? I probably got it in my notes somewhere, but I don't have it in my brain. So what's the BST hit last year?
Yes. We expect BST to be an $8 million improvement for the full year, the majority of that was in the first quarter.

Obscure metric, but I noticed that the assets in office furniture moved higher and I'm just trying to understand what that is given that you've divested and maybe that has nothing to do with it, but given that you're focused on productivity and cost savings and these things. Can you help me understand what that i...
I don't think there's any material impact from the investments on the office furniture assets. I think what you're probably picking up there, Matt, is the change in the accounting rules related to leases and so there's more assets on the balance sheet in general for that.

Yes, Matt. The investments are pretty broad based.

I understand wanting to be conservative around their open supplies and appetite for more inventory in light of where positioning is. That said, you guys obviously have had a flagship launch around the same time every year for quite a whi...
Yeah. Hi, Anne, this is Brian. We feel very good about seltzer. The demand is definitely there. As a matter of fact, if it continues, and we expect it to be at that upper end of ourselves, the guidance. And if that happens, that's great because that gives more open-to-buy dollars for retailers. So because they have to ...

And just going off the prior questions around the dispersion across regions in performance, are you expecting? what are you expecting for the Americas to the back half of the year?
We expect Europe and Asia to continue to open, and we're not expecting a lot of additional growth from North America. We're seeing some of that which has been encouraging popping up here in July, but that would be maybe upside to the numbers in the second half.

So, maybe if I just start on the kind of sell in the forecast. So the rationale that you described is very clear. I just wanted to get a better understanding of, is the cut to your selling forecast, or what percentage of the cut in your selling forecast is due to retailers carrying lower inventory versus like a real-ti...
Yes. I think on the demand side, we're actually seeing stronger demand than we initially guided for in the quarter, which is very encouraging. July was nicely ahead of expectations. So we're seeing solid demand that really picked up in Q2, picked up more in Asia, and continued in Europe. The second quarter in Europe wa...

And then, maybe just Brian again on I think about seasonality. Back-of-the-envelope math for me kind of implies you need to get toward the higher end of seasonality, revenue seasonality in both 3Q and 4Q, if we take kind of the midpoint of your sell in plus your ASP comments and so, is that the right way to think abou...
Yeah. 3Q would be a little bit below in terms of unit, where we've historically been. Q4, a top higher, but that's because we have two new products coming out, and that's in the fourth quarter versus one. So if it wasn't for that, we would have tempered, you know, the outlook to be less. But considering we have more pr...

I just wonder maybe if you can explain why you think this bifurcation in America, revenue and demand versus the rest of the world. I understand the retail Big Box inventory digestion is one hand, b...
Yeah. I see a couple of things. One is, will Big Box retailers are a large part of our North American business, so that definitely has an impact. And so we'll see how that goes.

For a second question is more of a kind of strategy going forward. So obviously, I think your move to moving camera of demand to the high end of your product set. So increasing the ASP and kind of maybe lowering units. But looking forward, it sounds like you're going to have an additional product launch this year. How ...
I think as we look at it going into next year, we expect to have ASPs continuing to go up, more to the high end, and more unit growth. So have we expected to have units growing a bit in 2023?

Brian, you mentioned Big Box retailers in North America. Kind of 9 to 10 weeks inventory. You thought that that was pretty good. The question is, is that confirmed with the Big Box retailers and they're fine with that? Or is there a chance that the Big Box retailers may actually want to take things lower? I'm just kind...
Yeah, we see that's a good level because those are good healthy in stocks where they don't lose camera sales. If they could choose to drop inventories, they have their business to run to and they're trying to get their inventories down and cash flow. So we'll see what they do.

No, it's more the latter. We've been consistent in a 9 to 10-week range.

Maybe it'd be helpful to just kind of review when does that higher price roll through your P&L or how are you able to realize pricing ...
Yeah. A couple of things, John. One, we normally have about six months of inventory in our kettle.

Yeah. I think I'd say that we still view that as a positive because the more steel that's produced locally and used locally and fabricated locally, the better it is for us and shortens lead times and cycle times and gives access to what currently is a constrained market for steel.

Can you just walk through how PyL potentially shift the for prostate screening and the initial indication for monitoring patients after surgery radiation?
Okay. So let me speak to what the indications will potentially be. There are two populations of patients that were studied in the Osprey and CONDOR trials. It's not yet clear to us which we'll receive approval for, but I can speak to which populations were studied. The two populations are called initial staging. And th...

Do you think that pull eventually displace PSA testing?
Well, you're now -- it's a little bit of apples and oranges there because PSA testing is serologic testing, which is blood testing. And one is not mutually exclusive of the other. They can be used for different purposes. And you can track a gentleman a PSA rising, which is the serologic test can also be used for -- to ...

How should we think about this finite in the cadence of growth throughout the year, just with the procedure volumes that you've seen? I know there's a lot of variables out there, but curious what you're seeing kind of quarter to date. And and what's embedded kind of generally speaking in your guidance in terms of DEFIN...
Well, we do not offer product-specific guidance for DEFINITY. You did hear me speak to volumes for echocardiograms. And I would know we'll be obviously publishing our K, but and I'd invite you to read that. But we do track the number of echocardiograms that are performed on an annual basis as the larger market trend DE...

On PyL, can you remind us when PyL in your view is going to meaningfully contribute to top line growth? And in your thoughts given the approval time line now and your thoughts also on reimbursement dynamics. And did you break out the rest of the Progenics business? I would be curious what the contributions were there i...
So we did not -- Bob can speak more specifically to what gets -- how it gets broken out and how it gets reported. From a meaningful perspective, I'll speak to the reimbursement, the coverage process, because I think that's something that kind of lends clarity to it. With the -- with a pet based diagnostic product, you ...

Anything kind of below the line to help us directionally here or how we should be thinking about EBITDA for the year or the operating margin target or like tax rate or any metrics kind of below the line to help us get there.
So yes. So again, as you think through the year and how we've -- how it kind of maps out from a revenue and cadence and talking about the second half in terms of acceleration. The keys to think upfront is sort of a tale of two halves, if you will. Keeping in mind that as you think about 2021. We're going to be putting ...

Did you disclose how much revenue you expect from PyL in 2021 as it relates to the guidance range?
We didn't. We don't give product level guidance, but if you just look at models that people have and adjusting for Puerto Rico, you will see that things seem to be fairly well contemplated by those who have put together models and make them available publicly.

Can you talk about sort of the plans and time line for launch? And then as a follow-up, maybe talk about how much of the RT volumes you would expect to go toward cannibalization of the existing product versus truly new opportunities and how much you could see that adding to growth over the next several years?
So I would not have you think with our current customer set, which is, let's call it, the echocardiography market in -- predominantly in the U.S. I would not think of it as cannibalization because our strategy is to make the product offering available to our customers. We are, as we know and as I alluded to, market lea...

I was just wondering if you could maybe talk about the Progenics deal and how you're progressing along in the synergy targets that you guys have laid out?
Well, I'll speak to the deal, and Bob can get to the numbers. We are thrilled with how the deal, as you say, is working out. From -- whether we're looking at the employees or we're looking at, in retrospect what the assets were it's -- from a rationale perspective, it's everything we propose it to be before we before w...

I think you had mentioned that there was maybe some expansion into emergency situations like stroke, is this included in the TAM? And if not, how would that expand your opportunity?
So please allow me to clarify it. Perhaps I wasn't clear. I was referencing an ongoing study in Brazil. That would be the reference I was using. I was offering insight into the possibilities for imaging enhancing agents. But my specific example was referring to a study that's under way in Brazil where DEFINITY is being...

On the PROPEL study in lung, what's the amount of data that we could potentially see in the second half of this year?
So as we gave an update, both at JPMorgan and even earlier this year. So the way the study is designed, is that it's designed to enroll approximately 60 patients, and those patients are stratified across three different PD-L1 expression subgroups. And it's approximately 20 patients across each of the subgroups. And th...

Does that -- I guess the third arm with chemotherapy in the PROPEL lung. When should we see data around that as well?
Yeah. So we just started to open those cohorts. So they're just starting in their accrual. So we would expect to see data in the future well into next year.

As non-chemo triplets becomes increasingly promising. Can you comment on where the triple combo of BEMPEG plus nivo plus TKI would fit in RCC? And the potential to move a triplet combo like that into earlier lines of non-small cell lung cancer?
So I think, certainly, we've seen the real impact, right, of a TKI combination with a checkpoint inhibitor in RCC. And we've seen multiple examples of that. You've seen it with avelumab plus axi, with pembro plus axi and then pembro with Lenvima, really some amazing results and of course, cabo plus nivolumab. So the op...

You talked about the time to potential first data in that first-line melanoma study around year-end or early 2022. And I want to confirm whether that's based on the ORR interim? Or is that a PFS readout that you're referring to? And if it is ORR, then when do you expect the PFS results from that study tread out?
BMS is actually running the melanoma study. So we do have two endpoints ORR and PFS that will read out first. Based on the original design of the study, those two endpoints were separated by between four to six months. We have not decided with BMS yet how we'll be disclosing the data. But I think the best guide is pro...
